[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are Maryland's best schools (UMD, John Hopkins) in the most crime ridden and dangerous areas?[/quote]Because the land is cheap. USC, University of Chicago, Yale, University of Illinois-Chicago, and many, many others are located in sketchy areas. UCLA is located in one of the most exclusive and wealthiest neighborhoods in the country.[/quote] Most urban schools founded more than 100+ years ago are in the center of town -which is often "sketchy" - Hyde Park was not always sketchy. Many of these "sketchy" areas are improving - just as DC is gentrifying. Most State schools (land grant schools) were built on farmland and college towns sprung up around them -- Maryland got caught up in urban sprawl. Hyattsville wasn't always the way it is today.[/quote]
